Can somebody please help me as to why I am not able to patch the top section of this body? I was able to patch the bottom layer, but getting errors with the top.

Fusion does the calculations, but when I click on OK is when I get the error

When you have a situation like this, I always restore to creating a new edge, via a sketch, to create the desire patch.  When I did this I found the error in the joining edges at the location shown below.  I completed the sketch, using a coincident between the two points, added the patch, stitched to all together and you have your solid.  You modified model is attached by a different name.

There are so many ways to skin the cat!  I scanned the edges for awhile but had to turn to a sketch using the "divide and conquer method to find the break.  My eyes are getting to old to follow all those complicated edges.  I like your more direct method.
